So made it through my first hurricane on the Island – lots of wind and rain but thank God did not lose any power. The house shook quite a bit, but there are no trees around so didn’t have to worry about that. Everything outdoors was secured and the car parked in a sheltered place. Supplies laid in and I think I was well prepared. The ocean was wild with lots of white caps. Earl came through pretty fast and so did not last long – the brunt of it was felt in Nova Scotia.

Raining right now so a perfect day to finish my Mama Meow rug. This was a fun rug to do and I can’t wait to get it bound up. I have to tweak a couple of places because they are bothering me but otherwise I am pretty happy with it. I can’t say it was my biggest at 21x30 but definitely one of them. Wait until I start on my custom pattern from Deanne Fitzpatrick – that will probably be my largest – that will definitely be a keeper. Have a spot for it all picked out.
Stopped by Deanne’s studio in Amherst, NS where I saw some of her glorious rugs. The pictures do not do them justice. Was so happy to have the opportunity to visit the shop and if you are in the area it is definitely a must! Just drool over the wool yardage selection and the wool yarn is beautiful – had to restrain myself but did pick up a kit – I am just itching to hook it. But it has to wait it’s turn.

| Market Day 1809 - copyright Joni Black Right now I’m hooking one of my original patterns called Market Day 1809. It was originally a punch needle design but a customer approached me to have it done as a rug hooking kit and I was only too happy to have her do it. So happy in fact, that I bought one of the kits from her. If interested you can contact her at hookedonthelake@kingston.net Off to do some more hooking – it’s a gray day with a bit of a cool nip in the air. Just a perfectly relaxing day! Have a great day.... |

Hi ~ I have Meow Mama in my pattern stash ~ I love that rug and love how you did yours!! Another thing I like is that you put the pattern name and designer under each picture ~ it certainly makes it clear that it's a pattern that can be purchased and where! Good girl!!
